Growing retail sector requirements

Organic food is in growing demand.

Nevertheless consumers increasingly look for requirements beyond organic certification. Vegan products, social responsibility in supply chain and food safety have been growing in popularity among consumers, who also expect food to be produced generating lowest possible carbon dioxide emission (CO2).

Another growing trend among consumers, involves ethical consumption that takes into account fair labor-standards and wages in supply chain, among other standards, naturally incurring in additional criteria for producers and retailers.

Therefore even current political situation in some countries has been influencing demand, as some clients simply would not accept products imported from certain areas.
